Have you ever been scammed?

Haha, to be honest your post makes me want to start a 'shit service' thread. We've all had some of that.

Did you only get one blow up doll for your £150?

Haha nope not quite...... the robbing bastards only give me 2.

Just remembered two scams, from many years ago. Both happened in Petticoat Lane Market in the East End of London. My uncle fell for the bottle of whiskey that was really cold tea, and I bought my mum an eiderdown, and when it was opened it had a big rip in the material. Thats going back to about 1966, when the market had a reputattion for picking your pocket as you entered it, and selling you your own items as you left. Even though you were cautious, you could still be caught. out.

I have just been scammed in Tesco. £6.99 for four fucking plastic Gillette Mach razor blades. Daylight robbery.

Surely some clever young entrepreneur could manufacture and mass produce a cheap, efficient multi purpose razor blade ? The mark up on razor blades is outrageous.

I know i bought some razors recently and they were over 7 quid.

and i use a simple 2 blade job.

Is that a lot? I hate it when people expect you to automatically know what other currencies are worth. Can you tell me how much that is in Mongol Tugriks please.

Never worked with tugriks but if I had access to both the LIBOR and EURIBOR (from Barclays) then i would be able to tell you in pounds!
